Preston gave Sylvia a sidelong glance. He looked annoyed. He felt that this was a crucial moment. What she had just said was unnecessary.

Lauren was Sophia's daughter. At the stime, she was also Javier's daughter. She was his precious daughter.

There was no doubt about that.

He had thoughts about making use of Lauren for his own purposes. But he certainly wasn't going to allow Landon to marry her.

Should Landon choose to marry her, he would be formally establishing a marital alliance with a prosperous family. Plus, Javier would end up becoming his father-in-law.

Wasn't that simply allowing Landon to beceven more powerful? What he needed to do now was to decide between two options.

One option was to use Lauren to threaten Landon so that Landon wouldn't be able to becpresident.

Or he could take a step back and allow him to becthe president. But he certainly had to prevent the marriage with the Beckett family.

Landon's words made the tension in the dining room rise.

Cornelius raised his eyebrows in surprise. Neither did he look at Landon nor say anything in response.

Penelope couldn't hold herself back. She chimed in, "Don't you know the rules at our family dinners, Landon? Only our own family members are allowed to attend family dinners. It's inappropriate for you to bring an outsider!" "An outsider?" Landon felt a ball of fury rise within him. His face turned [i instantly. His eyes narrowed dangerously. "No worries. Lauren will no longer be an outsider soon enoug| he will be my wife. She will becpart of our Harper family." Penelope felt a lump in her throat. "Why are you bringing this up again, Landon? Do you think this is the right tto talk about this?" "| decided to ctonight because of this." Landon then rose from his seat slowly. He turned his body to face Cornelius. He had a fiery look in his eyes.

"Grandpa, | chere today because there was something | wanted to inform you and everyone here about. | want to take Lauren as my wife. Please give us your blessings." Upon saying that, Landon looked at Cornelius and behaved in a very respectful manner.

Cornelius stared at Landon with wide eyes. This scene was shocking and unimaginable to everyone present.

Landon had been wayward since young. He was someone who loved to boast and flaunt. He'd never behaved politely to others or acted so seriously before.

For the sake of marrying Lauren, he was willing to humble himself.

"Landon, | don't think Ms. Lauren is good enough for you." Cornelius looked at Landon with a sharp gaze. His tone was full of contempt and disdain. "I don't care if it's Ms.

Betty or Ms. Lauren, whom you like. Neither of them can change the fact that they are the daughters of a murderer.

"Sophia has been sentenced to death. Video clips of her trial have spread across the internet. Everyone is badmouthing her. What do you think it would mean for you to marry her daughter? Are you trying to clean up after that bitch, Sophia?" Penelope nodded in agreement.

Preston and Sylvia continued eating and drinking. But they both had mocking smiles on their faces, albeit covertly.

As for Landon, he felt as if he was being exposed to a blizzard. His eyes were red, and he felt chills spreading to his extremities.

"You are my grandson. Your status is much more noble than Jasper's. You can get any woman you like. Why must you marry a murderer's daughter? People will laugh at you if news about this gets out!" Cornelius looked frigid. He shook his head. "You're not compatible with her at all. | cannot give you my blessings." "Grandpa! Sophia is the one who sinned. What does that have to do with her daughter?"
